On a Wheel of Fortune broadcast just a few days ago, contestant David Pederson was all set to solve the puzzle and collect his cash. Every letter had been revealed except for two, but they weren't necessary. It was clear that the answer to this crossword puzzle-style Wheel of Fortune challenge was a set of four words, as you can see in the video below: "Sole, Flounder, Cod, Catfish." That's exactly what Pederson said after declaring that he'd like to solve the puzzle, only to hear longtime host Pat Sajak tell him that -- no, unfortunately, Pederson's answer was incorrect.
That's because he'd added an "and," so that what he actually told Sajak was this: "Sole, Flounder, Cod, and Catfish." This revealed a technicality that many viewers and even contestants might not be aware has been associated with the popular game show for a few years now. Basically, if the answer to the puzzle is a series of words, you have to say the answer exactly as it appears on the board, without adding something like "and" to the series of words. Pretty stupid, right?
